Barolo Brea Vigna Ca'mia, Brovia 2018

Vigna Ca' Mia is in the most southeasterly part of the Brea MGA in Serralunga. Definitely the most representative wine of this 'menzione', the wine is very pale ruby in colour with an intense aroma of violet and red currants which then opens up to reveal sweet, exotic spices with touches of linden tree and camphor depth. This interpretation exhibits elegant tannins, between chalk and dust in terms of texture, with crisp acidity and a good, slightly bitter finish which imparts character and length to the wine. (Drink between 2022-2030)

Pleasant, nutty red fruit on the nose. Medium-bodied with lightly firm tannins that carry mainly the savory elements for now. Nice intensity, though. Give it time to settle. Best from 2024.

The 2018 Barolo Brea Vigna Ca' Mia is a generous, medium-bodied wine with fruit from Serralunga d’Alba. The bouquet reveals brooding tones of black fruit, tarry smoke, plum, iron ore and ferrous earth. The wine is quite elegant and polished, yet the power of the fruit (especially from this growing site) is undeniable.
